Everything that is written here runs the gamut from the most trivial to perhaps the most profound that the mind and heart of this current expat can conceive at a given time. Be not deceived nor misguided by the Blog Title as the content is as optimistic as it is pessimistic. The author being a realist, the content would present his subjective reality that more often is a constant 'tug of war' between the joys and pains of living in general and living the life of an expat in particular.
